Would too much chivarly get annoying?
The reason I am asking this question is, today for lunch we (a work group) went to a buffet, everytime I got up, this guy at our table would get up, until I left then sit down, when I would come back to the table he would get up again, sit after I sat.
I felt so uncomfortable!! I understnad the guys may want to do that at a date, but for co workers I find it too excessive. I know he made the other guys at the table uncomfortable, too.
what are your thought?
Re: Would too much chivarly get annoying?
Wow. I think the only time I ever saw that was on Titanic.
I do think things like that are cool though and I wish more people still practiced those "old" traditions. Probably because I'm old.
I remember Ben did not open my car door for me on our first date and I definitely noticed. On a later date, he did and I commented how much I liked it and he was like "Oh, then I'll do it every time!" It was like he never even thought about it.
But yeah, that is weird what your CW did. I remember a guy asked me out once and before our date sent me 12 long-stemmed peach roses. I was so weirded out, I canceled the date. It was just too much.
With All the Trimmings
Just do it!
I do really like having the door opened for me, but I also like being polite and holding the door for the next person after me. I love when I am in need of assistance and someone actually offers it - once at a grocery store I was juggling a couple of items and getting flowers into the protective sleeve, and a guy came over and helped me. It was so nice of him, even though I could have just set the other items down.
The getting up at the table thing would be awkward - especially at a buffet!
One chivalrous thing I dislike is elevators. If we're in the lobby waiting for an elevator, and there are three guys standing between me and the elevator that happens to arrive first, it's just awkward for all of them to move and let me on first. Just walk onto the elevator in the order we're already standing, and hold the door so it doesn't close on me. Ditto with getting off the elevator - because you put me on first, I'm now at the back (which I also don't prefer, but whatever) and now I have to squeeze by all of you to get off first, because you part like the Red Sea, grab the door, turn around, and look expectantly at me while I squeeze by. Awkward, times two. Sorry for the soap box, but I guess I just hate the elevator parade!

^^ He works in a different area than where I sit, so I don't see him everyday, but he has always been very polite. So you are right he has been brought up that way.
